Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at Virginia Samford Theatre
by Cade Lott - December 13, 2025
To Kill a Mockingbird' at the VST is a potent and timely revival of a classic story. With sharp direction and a deeply affecting performance by the cast, this production brings Harper Lee's tale of justice, prejudice, and childhood innocence vividly to life. It is a stirring courtroom drama and a powerful reminder of the courage it takes to stand up for what is right.

Review: EVITA TOO, Southbank Centre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - December 13, 2025
Rollerskates, Elaine Page, ducks, puppets, corpses, puppet corpses, and a DJing Andrew Lloyd Webber. Evita Too is worlds away from the Jamie Lloyd hit that swept London this summer, but it has just as much to say, if not more.
Review: THE GIFT, Citizen's Theatre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - December 13, 2025
A mountain of discarded wrapping. A lonely child with an active imagination. It’s often the cardboard boxes, not the gifts inside that are the most fun. Is the true gift the joy that can come from the imagination?

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A GHOST STORY OF CHRISTMAS at Olney Theatre
by Doug Poms - December 12, 2025
What did our critic think of A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A GHOST STORY OF CHRISTMAS at Olney Theatre? Olney Theatre continues its lovely tradition of its annual rendering of Paul Morella’s one-person adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas.” Now in its 16th year, this rendition of the classic continues to delight audiences. For the second year, DC area veteran actor Michael Russotto masterfully performs all of the almost-fifty characters in the story. This production not only features a fine adaptation of the novella and a stellar performance by Mr. Russotto but also top-notch productions values. The show is full of humor, pathos, charm and fun.

The movie Elf is one of those films that sticks with you throughout your life; you remember the spaghetti, the syrup, and the unrivaled holiday cheer from the unique story.

Review: LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL at Tesseract Theatre Company is a Peppy High Energy Production
by James Lindhorst - December 12, 2025
Director Will Bonfiglio, Music Director Larry D. Pry, Choreogrpaher Jo Palisoc, and the entire company deserve a lot of credit for their all in committed, peppy, and high-spirited production of a marginal show that is staged as a pet project far too often. There are thousands of musical theater assets that have arguably better books and scores that are rarely produced. Legally Blonde the Musical is like a pink piece of bubblegum. At first it sounds appealing, but the flavor does not last long.
